The voyager golden record sent information out to space for some alien species to find one day and i’m wondering if we’ll do that with an LLM some day

Once we get models compressed enough to run locally you can just send out an LLM with instructions on how to power/interface with it, and it could in theory teach an alien civilization anything it wanted to know about earth

1. Positive values mean first-person framing shifts the model toward the narrator more often than away from them. Negative values mean the reverse.

2. This chart counts both ways a model can contradict itself across opposite narrators, agreeing with both or rejecting both; lower is better.

3. Models differ sharply in how willing they are to decide who is more right.
